ASTHMA REUEF (Registered Charity 10639650) www.AsthmaRelief.o CHAIRMANS REPORT- Year 1st July 2020 to 30th June 2021 Once again I would like to offer our most sincere grdtitude to all of our donors. from Grant making organisations and Corporate donors, small Businesses. individuals and all those who have given their time and expertise to Asthma Relief voluntarily- your kindness and generosty have enabled Aslhma Relief to continue with our vital work- thank you all. The Coronavirus pandemic was once again at the forefront of much of our planning during the year, being a Respiratory Charity we somewhat expected increased requests for our help to materialise - and malerialise they did. In tems of the planning that was deployed. it was a longer tern approach that we adopted which began very early on in the pandemic spanning last years. accounting pertod as well as this year, we have also structured plans for the next year based urK)n solid information that we now have available to us after operating at full capacity throughoLrt the pandemic. I have to pay tribute to our Honorary Manager (and founder of the Charity) Dave Penman, assisted by our Office Manager Tricia Davis for their forward thinking approach conmIng the logistical effects of the pandemic on our work: both on a day to basis and over the longer term. This well thought through approach placed us in Ihe strongest position to be able to respond to numerous urgent reqLSts for our help from those who really were in need of our support. To clarify further- during the pandemic V encountered pericmjs when we were unable to source Nebulisers. We were forbjnate that one supplier came forward wilh an offer of several hundred machines and we decided to purchase them immediately due to experiencing the short supply. We are pleased we did so - because of this we were able to accommodate every urgent request for Nebulisers, which, during such dtfficult times in people's lives was essential (in particular older and more vulnerable patients). Our previous years, accounts reflected this decision showing a substantial defictL Our finances have since retumed to a more nomial level as can be observed in this years, accounts. I would also like to thank my fellow Trustees for their unwavering commitment and support throughout such a difficult and challenging period in overseeing the wellbeing of the Charity. Wtth that in mind I have to announce. wtth much sadness. that due to health reasons Sue Jones and Charles Penman have stepped down as Trustees. I thank you both for your years of Servi on the board of Trustees and the exemplary example you have set for all of us. We at the Charity offer all of our best wishes for the future and I know that we shall keep in touch. Coronawrus (Covid19)- our continuing story:_ Whilst our infrastructure and our commithient to getting Nebulisets to those who need them most urgently. have remained intsGt, there have been many logistical challenges that we have had to address. One such challenge had be8n providing single Nebuliser placements in those urgent cases invotving Patients - we were most diligent observing strict guidelines and prolocols when handlirtrg machines. With Hospices, Hospitals. Medical Centres and Nursing Teams, wherever possible we provided Nebulisers in unopened batches of 4 or 6 machines. in each box (depending upon which machines were being utilized} in order to minimisè handing of the machines betsveen Ihe manufacturing and distribution processes.
